Great, thank you Nick! I am wondering if there's enough space to put two lip seals in there, similar to how our C drive has two lip seals facing in one direction. Looking at the price of the

Thanks

Did you find the bolt? It is probably under the transmission. If it wored its way forward somehow it could be in the sump. Bob, KAIMI SM429

Bill Kinney sums this up perfectly and is a much better version than my typical response which is, "do not add battens to a SM or 54." I offer everyone these 3 additional points: Every broken foil

David, You are right about this being a contentious topic. When we replaced our mainsail we stayed with the unbattened version, as was original to the SM. I think I can fairly summarize the arguments.

I am making sure that I have everything I need for a Bow-thruster drop and seal change. The only item yet to get is a spare sacrificial coupling. I have tried to work out the part number but it looks

I think that Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is perfect. I wish I knew what Amel used. Bill CW Bill Rouse Amel Owners Yacht School +1 832-380-4970 | brouse@... 720 Winnie, Galveston

Hi David, there was a discussion on this topic in the forum a few months ago. It was mainly about the question of material and battens or no battens if my memory is correct. Just dig into the past. We

Hi David, I second Nick's recommendation 100%. We used to have so many problems furling with our original 2008 DeMe material with integrated battens. Sometimes dangerous when reefing in strong winds.

hi Courtney, thank you. Information that I wanted and we are really sisterships! Where are you located currently? I am leaning toward no battens also. Best, David Galini, A54 #100

Hi all, We're having a local machine shop create replacements for our outhaul shaft and mounting bracket after the originals were damaged during removal. We're unsure of what the material is for the

Hi David I Have 54 #101 original Hydra Net no battens. When I finally replace the sails there will be No Battens. The main fills nicely. I can point with difficulty 38 to 40. Sails nicely at 50

Thank you Nick. Your input is along the lines of my thinking, but the peformance loss I expect would be mostly in lighter winds. I too am talking with QSails about replacement

Hi David, I recently bought a new mainsail to replace the original battened one. I thought long and hard about whether to choose the flatter batten-less or stick to the original. I decided to go

Hi Amel owners, I am in the process of replacing my main sail on Galini, A54 #100. The inherited main sail on the boat is likely original 2008 tri-radial hydra net. It was designed for partial
